Jeg har i de siste 20 årene hatt hovedarbeidsområde innenfor prosjektene ”Effektkontroll av kalking i lakseførende vassdrag”, ”Biologisk overvåking av sur nedbør”, ”Reetableringsprosjektet” og ”Tålegrenser ørret”. I forbindelse med effektkontrollen av kalking har jeg vært prosjektleder for 13-15 lakseførende elver i Agder og Rogaland i de siste årene med ansvaret for planlegging, gjennomføring og rapportering av fiskeundersøkelsene. I tillegg har jeg vært koordinator for fem av vassdragene i Rogaland. Siden 1995 har jeg i tillegg arbeidet med undersøkelser på utbredelse, kunnskapsstatus og biologi til de store ferskvannsmuslingene i Norge. Jeg er i dag ansvarlig for det nasjonale overvåkingsprogrammet for elvemusling i Norge, og har levert faglig innspill til handlingsplanen for elvemusling. Jeg er dessuten ansvarlig for undersøkelser i forbindelse med effektkontrollen av kalking på elvemusling i Ogna. Jeg har tidligere arbeidet mye både med innlandsfisk og anadrome fiskearter i regulerte vassdrag, og har også kompetanse på aldersbestemmelse av fisk og artsbestemmelse av bunndyr og plankton.

I am a forest ecologist and conservation scientist, and an expert in the biodiversity of temperate deciduous forest (edelløvskog), the worlds’ most degraded biome. Since there is so little left of the temperate deciduous forest, restoration is necessary, and I have led several projects on experimental evaluation of restoration measures at various scales, from creation of microhabitats to release cutting and landscape effects.

There is a strong tendency of taxonomic bias within conservation, meaning that nearly all interest is focused on a few taxa such as large animals and vascular plants, while hyper-diverse taxa such as fungi and insects are often neglected. I therefore engage in both basic exploration of biodiversity within hyper-diverse taxa, and study the effects of habitat loss, management et c on multiple taxa, including plants, bryophytes, lichens, fungi, and various insect groups. As a trained mycologist, I have over 30 years professional experience and a long list of publications on the biodiversity, ecology, taxonomy and conservation of Ascomycota, including lichenized species. Knowledge on species identification and taxonomy of hyper-diverse taxa are essential for such studies, but highly threatened and decreasing skills worldwide. My own taxonomic expertise is within pyrenomycetoid ascomycetes, especially those associated with living trees and dead wood, and I have described several species new to science from the Nordic countries.

Starting with my PhD, I have also published several papers on dispersal ecology, effects of habitat continuity, and the use of Indicator species, especially concerning cryptogams.
